Rocking Your World: The Emotional Journey into Critical Discourses
The Emotional Journey Into Critical Discourses
by Churchill, A. H.
Description
Rocking Your World: The Emotional Journey into Critical Discourses is an
introductory text that emerged from the belief that we often learn best through
personal narrative and story. This collection of real stories connects critical theory
and critical pedagogy with personal transformation. It is an experiential primer in
how to navigate a developing appreciation of how silent (and sometimes not so
silent) machinations of power align themselves along axes of gender, race, class,
sexual orientation, and global position (amongst others) to both conceal and
perpetuate injustice and oppression.
In this book, twelve authors share personal reflections of how various critical
discourse communities have impacted their lives. They explore a range of
professional, family and social barriers to personal growth as teachers, professional
researchers and everyday people; they give us glimpses into the impact of
positionality, the balance between activism and intellectual rigor, the obstacles to
teaching critically, and more.
This book would be an ideal complement to traditional texts and would provide
countless opportunities to generate the kind of personal introspection and dialogue
that can make studying critical pedagogy and other critical discourses a
transformative experience. It is a must read for any teacher or student interested in
the power of critical theories to transform how we see the world in which we live.
